The Dynamite Pack Grenade +50% max primary ammo on wearer Splits into 4 smaller bomblets upon exploding Can be defused by the Wrench "Ye'll be in bits tomorrow."

The Dynamite Pack is a throwable secondary weapon that consists of a team-colored bundle of five dynamite sticks, which explodes into four smaller sticks of dynamite, which then finally explode themselves. It can be charged up to two seconds, increasing the speed of the thrown pack. Hitting an enemy with the pack will deal 30 damage regardless of range, and halt the enemy's movement for 0.5 seconds. As a side effect, it will also cause an enemy Heavy to unrev their Minigun. If the main pack hits a surface after it is thrown, it will bounce in a random direction before coming to rest. Once it is thrown, the main pack will detonate after 2.5 seconds, dealing massive splash damage. During the main explosion, it randomly spreads out its four remaining dynamite sticks, which then randomly detonate between 1 and 2 seconds after.

The Demoman can only carry one Dynamite Pack at a time. After it is thrown, it recharges after 10 seconds, after visiting a resupply locker, or after respawning. If thrown underwater, it will have significantly reduced velocity, but will still explode as normal. In addition, equipping the Dynamite Pack also gives the Demoman a 50% increase in max primary ammo. This means that the Grenade Launcher has 24 carried ammo instead of the default 16. This increase has no effect when using the Gunboats.

A thrown Dynamite Pack can be defused by the Engineer by hitting it with the Wrench, but not the smaller dynamite sticks. The smaller bomblets can be defused by Pyro's airblast, but not the main dynamite pack, which can only be moved away.

Taunting with the Dynamite Pack will cause the Demoman to blow himself up after 3.8 seconds, dealing between 900 and 450 damage to any enemy in the explosion radius, and 750 damage to himself. This will also damage enemy buildings, dealing up to 1000 damage. The Gunboats do not reduce self-damage from this taunt. If the user somehow survives the explosion, such as through an Ubercharge, the Dynamite Pack will be consumed, and the user will be launched upwards a significant amount.

Trivia

• The Dynamite Pack was originally planned for Team Fortress 2 during its pre-release stages, as a re-imaging of Team Fortress Classic's MIRV Grenade. It is unknown if it was ever intended to act as its own weapon.
• The achievement for taunt killing an enemy with the Dynamite Pack is named "1, 1, 1, Uhh...", which is a reference to a joke from the Meet The Spy video. Despite this, the Demoman only presses the button three times on the Dynamite Pack, instead of four times.
• The Dynamite Pack taunt explosion slightly shifts the Demoman's position downwards, assuming he is not instantly exploded. This allows an invulnerable Demoman to get stuck in certain slopes, unable to escape until death.
